Day 2. The afternoon.

Today has been going really well. For starters, I made it all the way to work without any residual salt-flush-induced emergencies. I was kinda worried about that, both in theory and in the moment. Additionally, as I just explained to an inquiring friend*, my hunger has actually been easier to deal with than yesterday (and yesterday wasn't too bad). The reason, I think, is because yesterday I was having more extreme "pangs" of hunger. While they were sporadic, they could be fairly intense. Today I've had a more consistent baseline of hunger throughout the day, but the level of it hasn't been nearly as intense. Also, my energy is still really good. I think I'll try to do some pilates when I get home, and then Roommate and I may go to a movie. As I was telling P.R. (below), I expect that my energy will probably dip tomorrow and/or Sunday. But it will be on the weekend so I'll be able to deal with it.

I just met up with a certain doctor friend of mine for a brief, impromptu un-coffee (he was having coffee, I wasn't), and he told me that he had to stop reading my blog when he got to the first poop reference. He's squeamish about those things. After dissecting a cadaver for goodness sake! (And beware the woman who tries to mention a feminine issue!)

*Said friend might join me in my fast in a couple of days! Yay P.R.!
